The Food and Resource Economics (FRE) group
(formerly Agricultural Economics) uses rigorous tools of economic
analysis to examine applied problems in the general area of food
markets (e.g., trade and regulated markets, food demand analysis, food
safety and biotechnology) and the economics of renewable resources and
the environment (e.g.,trade and the environment, environmental policy).
The FRE group is comparatively small, so faculty members
actively collaborate with other economists at UBC and other
universities through both formal and informal networks and linkages.
Some units
where we have cross-campus collaborations are:
- Faculty of Land and F
ood Systems: Our graduate programs are interdisciplinary in nature.
Professors and students work in close collaborations with colleagues in
other graduate programs within the Faculty. These include: Animal
Science, Food Science, Human Nutrition, Landscape Architecture, Plant
Science and Soil Science.
- Faculty of Commerce
& Business Administration: This world-class business school has
more than a dozen economists working on issues such as trade policy,
regulatory and policy issues, industrial organization, finance and
marketing.

Economics: Canada's premier economics department specializes in
industrial organization, trade, environmental issues and development.
- Faculty of

our students on issues such as climate change, biodiversity and
recreation demand.
